Pre-0.9.9 / [M|AoMr|99%|YAVP] My first roguelike completion in 20 yrs!
« on: August 30, 2009, 19:40 »
After reaching L25 and getting wasted by the Cyberdemon last night, I started a new run today and went TaN/SoB/Iro instead of Fin/WK. My pistols weren't even fully modded as I was hanging out for more Damage Mods which never showed up, I just threw the Accuracy Mods on there for lack of anything better. I was lucky enough to land on L25 with most of an Invulnerability powerup still active, and copped the first rocket with no damage.
The biggest kick in the pants was getting spawned at an entrance around L20 with the Anti-Freak Jackal on the other side of a barrel. As I went to snatch it, an Imp fired and missed and... ARGH no more Jackal! The game then decided to give me no humans or bullets for the next 2 or 3 levels so I was down to about 20 shots in the backpack and had been relying on single Advanced Pistol for quite a while, until I finally ran into a bunch of humans and chaingunners.
Incidentally, this turned out to be a good strategy, single-reloads go alot quicker than dual-reloads which no doubt saved my ass at least a few times. I also didn't realise how much ammo I was wasting dual-firing at easy enemies. If one has good cover and distance, single-shots against even Revenants and Barons isn't out of the question. A Magazine mod would have been good during that low-ammo time.
Only 1 Arch Vile, who was sitting next to a Large Health Globe and an Invulnerability. I ran into two Extended weapons (a Chaingun and something else I forget) which would have been nice in a non-AoMr run. I had nothing special to defeat the Cyberdemon, just DualGunner, Phase Devices and Large Med-packs.
This seems almost too easy for a first win. It's also the first time I have completed ANY Roguelike since I ascended Andries Brouwer's Hack back in the DOS days before it was NetHack. That was probably about 20 years ago.
I did The Arena, Chained Court, City of Skulls to get the extra experience. Is there anyway an AoMr can get into blocked-wall areas like The Wall?

Discussion / Doom Singleplayer Pen & Paper RPG
« on: August 30, 2009, 16:30 »
Inspired by a tabletop RPG thread on Doomworld, I've been playing around with a pen and paper version of Doom. I don't really have anyone to play with, so I made it singleplayer. All maps are 5 rooms generated by dice, with a compulsory boss level every 10 maps. I tried to keep it as simple as possible, there are no skills or saving throws, just Hit/Dodge and Damage.
It's based off the Doom PC game rules, all damages and monster hitpoints are just halved. I've playtested it a little bit, it's probably way unbalanced for the high-tier monsters and I suspect someone would have to be Invincible or very lucky to defeat a Cyberdemon or Spider Mastermind, but it's at least a potentially-complete implementation up to MAP30 and beyond.
Check it out if you like. Any questions, suggestions, criticisms and comments would be greatly appreciated.
